SRH are favourites. Might well win by a 100+ run margin.

Batting still concerns for SRH.. And ABD will like this bowling attack of SRH (barring Rashid Khan, hopefully Warner saves his one or two overs for ABD)..

I think Rashid has got the numbers of ABD and Bhuvi and Sandeep will take care of Kohli. So, really no chance for RCB.

I look forward to the battle of Maxwell vs Rashid but I am sure he will certainly be saved to bowl a couple of overs to ABD unless ofcourse they are sending him at no.6-7

[Smbhayi]

It's a bad move dropping sandeep sharma.. .

 

[jiduguravindra]

It's a bad move dropping sandeep sharma.. .

Need extra spinner.. So not a bad move, holder in team, like to like replacement

 

[Ab Fan]

Slow start..

 

[Ab Fan]

Maxwell turns the tide in one over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sluggish pitch. AB gone. Ball not coming on.

 

[Ab Fan]

RCB 95/4( 13.4 overs)

Maxwell is key.

 

[Ab Fan]

Good knock from Maxwell.

RCB 149/8 (20 overs)

 

[Justcrazy]

Exactly 150 required here by Sunrisers , spin will be key here

 

[Justcrazy]

Siraj bowling well here , This will be tough chase for Sunrisers

 

[Justcrazy]

Siraj almost got a breakthrough!

 

[Justcrazy]

Just 9 balls , and we can see this is tough pitch

 

[Bewal Express]

Siraj is looking the real deal. Bowls a heavy ball with a good seam

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner is playing well here

 

[Ab Fan]

Easy win for SRH as predicted.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers have kept wickets in hand , that gives them edge here

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is tough , ball is gripping , teams with good spinners will dominate in Chennai and Delhi

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Warner gone !

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers need to look for 10 - 12 run over here to ease pressure

 

[Justcrazy]

Bayliss has long chat with Bairstow

 

[Ab Fan]

As always, Bairstow never finishes game.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Bairstow gone , trying to get quick runs

 

[IMMY69]

Top quality this.
Much better than T20 internationals

 

[Rana]

Literally every guy who was better than or is said to be better than Babar Azam has failed gloriously in this match

 

[Justcrazy]

Shahbaaz is on fire , three wicket in one over

 

[Ab Fan]

Top quality this.
Much better than T20 internationals

First inning was high quality... SRH bowling vs RCB batting.

 

[Justcrazy]

33 from 17 balls , its getting very tight for Sun risers here

 

[da_don]

looks very suspect how wickets are falling

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Sunrisers struggling here , they need some big hits

 

[Smbhayi]

Thank God Shankar is out.. Now we may have chance..

 

[Smbhayi]

As I said we may have chance with Rashid Khan.. 6 first up..

 

[Smbhayi]

Holder , length ball and unable clear the rope..

 

[IMMY69]

Literally every guy who was better than or is said to be better than Babar Azam has failed gloriously in this match

Mate it's a crazy world when cricketers are made out to be stars and get paid hundreds of thousands for a few weeks work

 

[Ab Fan]

Bairstow has got wider array of shots than Williamson but in these crunch situations, Williamson is simply another level bat compared to JB. If this was Kane batting at 4, SRH would have gotten home today.

 

[Justcrazy]

8 from 4 balls !!1

 

[Smbhayi]

Lucky break for SRH, can they make it count..

 

[Ab Fan]

Rashid GONE! Well played though.

 

[Justcrazy]

7 from 2 balls

This ball has to go big , there will be no second chance

 

[Justcrazy]

Kumar has opportunity to be a hero here

 

[Justcrazy]

RCB win two games in a row , they are on the way to get to play offs this year

 

[Smbhayi]

SRH should bat first always. They're a good atdefending than a chasing..

 

[MenInG]

RCB 149/8 (20)
SRH 143/9 (20)
Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 6 runs

 

[Smbhayi]

Kumar has opportunity to be a hero here

Not really, even he hits six last ball they'll lose by one run.. Rashid Khan's first run was short..

 

[sindhiboy]

SRH have done a kkr.
The pitches last 2 games have been tricky.

This is also one of maxwells best ipl knocks considering the difficult batting conditions

IPL 2021 | SRH vs RCB | 6th Match | Chennai | 14th April, 2021 | Match Discussion

A total replay of yesterday´s match, from head to toe, all the way! Well bowled, Bangalore, but some of their bowler did wilt under pressure, as is borne witness by the no-balls and full-tosses towards the end, but Hyderabad just messed it up.

The Chennai track really promises to offer some big thrillers this year. I don´t mind it one bit. I really don´t.

 

[King_Kohli]

Mohammad Siraj is easily one of the most delightful pacer to watch at the moment in world, man make ball carry on dead pitches & beautiful action too.

He improved a lot.

 

[King_Kohli]

As always, Bairstow never finishes game.

Sending Pandey over Bairstow was very bad move in power play.
Pandey played so many balls.

Bairstow clearly struggling to spimn in middle.

I have noticed this trend with Bairstow a lot.

If it is a spin wicket like today, they should play Williamson instead of Bairstow and on Wankhede type wicket, play Bairstow. Last year in knockout, they had Williamson at 4 and he finished off the game for SRH alongwith Holder on the wicket that was sluggish.

As for Pandey, maybe SRH should start thinking of using him as a 12th man who can field

Truly brilliant bowler. He is becoming reliable in T20s too, always takes wickets upfront.

They have no option, next match 3D-Man out and Jadav in.

 

[Saj]

Another day, another collapse in the IPL.

Poor batting once again it seems.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Chennai has produced another nail-biter. Batting second is always super hard. Mumbai is producing a run fest. Chennai is producing a wicket fest.

 

[Sunzi]

Big choke here. 7 wickets for 27 chasing a paltry score by T20 and IPL standards.

Fair play to RCB for defending it.

Mumbai last night defended well against KKR but it was a choke ultimately and SRH have done the same tonight!

Makes for good viewing, mind
